If you believe that republicans will never vote to impeachment the president under any circumstances then he isn’t getting impeached. Impeachment requires a majority in the house to file the article of impeachment and then 2/3rds of the senate to find him guilty. [/quote]
That’s a good point. He could be impeached, but not removed, without 2/3 of the senate.

Trump isn’t going to win re=election at this point but Mike Pence could, or at a minimum has a better shot than Trump.

In my opinion, Pence doesn’t have a shot in hell. First, one of the main constituencies that would vote for him (old white people who consider themselves very christian) is mostly old and dying. Trump caught the very tail end of their power and won their vote and the votes of disaffected lower- and middle-class white people and also traditional republicans. Those disaffected lower-and middle-class white people don’t want a traditional republican like Pence. The evangelicals are losing power. The traditional republicans aren’t enough any more, in my opinion.
Maybe some of that is wishful thinking. I keep thinking the democrats are going to put up somebody with vision and charisma. Like Obama. But the best they can come up with is Hillary (who I think would’ve made a fantastic president, but wasn’t a good candidate) and Warren (who I also think would make a good president but I don’t think would be a very good candidate) and Franken (who would’ve been a great candidate and probably a good president, but who got run out of politics), and Kaine (who?) and etcetera. And without a half-decent democratic candidate, maybe you’re right. Maybe Pence does have a shot. But I think that if republicans put up somebody like Kasich and the democrats put up somebody like Warren or Kaine (and the democrats keep sucking at campaigning and at getting their message out), then the republican wins, even with the massive energy out there that hates trump and, by osmosis, many things republican.
